The police are just as out of control and inefficient as the rest of our government. It took me three separate visits to recover some stolen property from the sheriff's office. My attempts were made during normal posted working hours and as instructed by our finest. ...more

Your recent editorial in the Tribune concerning contract negotiations with the Tampa firefighters reported information that is inaccurate and misleading. The Tribune editorial, "By Demanding 10 Percent Raise, City Firefighters Insult Taxpayers" (Our Opinion, Dec. 14),claims "government unions have lost all sense of economic reality." ...more
